Barcelona forward Luis Suarez says he had no option but to nutmeg Paris St-Germain defender David Luiz twice as he scored two brilliant goals in Paris.

Luis Suarez: Barcelona striker 'had to nutmeg David Luiz'

Suarez easily cut inside ex-Chelsea player Luiz on his way to putting Barca 2-0 up before repeating the trick as he scored a stunning third goal.

The former Liverpool striker said: "A striker is always looking for goals and the two moves came off for me.

"I had to nutmeg Luiz twice because there was nothing else I could do."

Suarez scored 31 goals in 33 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last season before completing his £75m move to Spain.

And he took his tally to 17 goals for Barca this season - including 11 in his last 11 - with his double in Paris to put Barca on the brink of the semi-finals of the Champions League.

After Neymar had put the Spanish side ahead Suarez struck his first goal of the night, threading the ball between Luiz's legs at pace, holding off a challenge from Maxwell and firing home.

His second of the night was even better, again nutmegging Luiz before striding on and planting a shot into the top corner.

A cautious Suarez said: "In football you never know what's going to happen.

"They have so much quality and we need to be aware that this isn't over. It'll be a good game."
